Not to pick a point at you Jim, But the Hindenburg fire was caused by the dope on the fabric of the outer skin, the hydrogen explosion was secondary, but still Very violent. The Drycell I use is a "Oddessay P545" out of a Jet ski application , from a battery wholesale house here in Toledo. it works great.

I put a gel battery in my KR-2. It's worth a few extra bucks to not have to worry with venting and getting rid of the acid vapors. Batteries explode because they generate hydrogen gas when they are charged. Look at a picture of the Hindenberg to see what hydrogen can do. I found a small company that sells a full range of gel batteries. They are most professional in their service and shipping, and their prices are competitive. Their catalog can be seen at b and c specialty.com. Jim Vance Vance@ClafliinWildcats.com_______________________________________________ see KRnet list details at http://www.krnet.org/instructions.html
